Abstract
Dinner parties, coffee- and house visits: social interactions occurring in the domestic sphere were vital to the everyday lives of the average nineteenth-century Dutchman. Yet until now, the historiography on Dutch sociability is either focused on public sociability, or on a few sporadic examples. This study, then, systematically analyses the social lives of four Amsterdammers, drawing specific attention to their social networks and the forms of domestic sociability that they were acquainted with. To do so, a mixed-method approach (i.e. thick reading and social network analysis (Gephi)) is applied.
